The Knight of Darkness crushes crime in the classic pulp novels that inspired Hollywood's first two Shadow feature films!

First, the bizarre terms of a dead man's will lead to a series of murders that will condemn an innocent man unless The Shadow can unmask the true killer in Walter Gibson's "The Ghost of the Manor" - the inspiration for the 1937 film "The Shadow Strikes."

Then, The Dark Avenger hunts a sadistic blonde murderess and the masked supervillain known as "Foxhound" in Theodore Tinsley's violent novel that was filmed in 1938 as "International Crime."
